The conference will be an international event aiming to bring together researchers, community leaders, government representatives and participants from academic, non-profit, and private sectors from around the world. The programme will include scientific presentations, discussions and learning platforms of interest to practitioners, policy makers, donors and community leaders alike. It will be an interdisciplinary conference, seeking participation from diverse fields such as ecology, animal behaviour, psychology, law, conflict analysis, mediation and peacebuilding, international development, economics, anthropology, and many more.

The conference will be held at the University of Oxford’s Examination Schools, on 1 – 3 April 2020. Information about calls for symposia, workshops, and abstracts for presentations, as well as registration fees and deadlines, will be posted on the website and circulated via social media and email lists over the coming months. We are working towards making a number of grants available for individuals who may need financial assistance with travel, registration, or accommodation.
